Guess which Teen Mom just lost custody of her child!
UPDATE: LMAO – whoops! Looks like I should have added the link…
UPDATE: LMAO – whoops! Looks like I should have added the link…
In case you missed it, Wednesday was "National Day To Prevent Teen Pregnancy". 'Teen Mom 2′ stars recorded a PSA promoting safe sex. The girls recorded four PSAs, but this one is my favorite. The girls admit they wish they would have just cuddled instead of having sex (I'm sure their children will appreciate this in about 15 years). They talk about the importance of protection, and why you should wait to have children.
MTV is promoting itsyoursexlife.com
Can't get enough of Teen Mom? Well season 3 will air in June! The moms from season 1 and season 2 (in the video above) are back for more punishment.
Do you think that these PSAs are effective?
Susie Castillo, former Miss USA and MTV VJ, was left with nothing but distaste after she claimed he was "molested" at an airport in Texas last week by none other than security.
Airport security checkpoints have been under fire recently for their new searching and 'patting down' policies, and Susie is but one of many that have complained about the search methods. Most people don't mind the extra bit of protection, while others are up in arms and feel that it's too intrusive.
She says a female TSA agent "touched my vagina…four times."
She goes on to say she felt "violated" and filled out an official complaint immediately afterward.
TSA has yet to make a comment.
Someone please tell me NOW how I can watch this hot mess.
Might want to beef up the security at the Royal Wedding; fist pump partying is invading Britain.
While MTV sends the cast of "Jersey Shore" to Italy, England is getting its very own cast of hard-partying, drink-happy characters, as they've announced the cast of "Geordie Shore." Based, obviously, on the format of the American show, "Geordie Shore" will feature eight young scholars from the city of Newcastle — conveniently, those from that city are known as Toons.
The cast looks similar to the American show; muscle-bound guys and girls fond of eye shadow predominate, and many of them match up to their American cousins.

While making sweet calendar-meets-packaging cubes, he is also working for Abbott Miller/Pentagram in Baltimore. From magazine and book layouts to posters and self-initiated work, Luke's work is fresh. It's nice to see a large body of work with this much variety, attention to detail, and experimentation with other mediums.

Liette Gidlow earned a Ph.D. in U.S. history from Cornell University, a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Chicago, and a master's degree in history from Ohio State University. Before joining academe she worked as a legislative staffer in the U.S. Congress and as chief of staff to a member of the Ohio Senate.
A specialist in twentieth century politics, women's history, and mass culture, she has published two books: The Big Vote, which analyzes how massive, non-partisan voter turnout campaigns in the 1920s helped establish new norms of "expert citizenship" and "consumer citizenship"; and Obama, Clinton, Palin, a collection of essays by top-ranking historians that takes the long view on the historic 2008 presidential election.
Her next book is a study of the disfranchisement of American women after the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1920 granted them suffrage. In 2012 the project was awarded a President's Research Enhancement Grant, the largest humanities research grant offered by Wayne State. Her previous work has won the support of grants from four presidential libraries and the Bunting Institute at Harvard University. Between 2004 and 2007, she spearheaded a $1 million grant project from the U.S. Department of Education to improve K-12 history teaching in northwest Ohio.
Her teaching has been featured on C-SPAN's "Lectures in History" series, and she has presented public talks on U.S. politics and women, past and present, at The Henry Ford, the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum, and other venues.
She lives in Monroe, Michigan with her husband and two children.

Star Manu Bennett struts around in his altogether as he lectures newbie Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) on Gladiator etiquette.

Spartacus star Andy Whitfield dies of lymphoma at 39
Photo source, see more photos and read more about Andy.
He will be sorely missed! Andy was such a bright spot on the show, but more importantly, a beautiful man was lost to the world yesterday, never to be replaced. So young. Taken so young. What a tragedy! He will be missed by many, myself included. Rest in peace, young warrior; your fight is over now.
Spartacus delivers cock and skin!
Okay Manu Bennett, aka Crixus, fans here he is again in all his glory, as Ilithyia, played by Viva Bianca, admires his physique [in season one, Spartacus: Blood and Sand].
She gets so excited over the Gaul, that she decides to buy one of her own! Here is the man she gets:
He doesn't last long though. She convinces him to take the life of Spartacus, Andy Whitfield, who showed up her husband in battle, and in the attempt he is foiled by Crixus who defends his brother gladiator. The Gaul's first punishment is castration. Easy come, easy go. I did not have the heart to take a photo of it.
Anyway, more on Manu Bennett. So gladiators cleaned up in oil baths:
And when Manu stands up, no one can take their eyes off of his butt!
God, I just love this show!
The season two finale was just on last night and did not disappoint!
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena – Reckoning
Oh boy! So in the final episode of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, we find out who really wears the pants in the Batiatus family, and it isn't a man. I'll save you the answer, in case you haven't seen it. So the screen capture above is when Lucretia, Lucy Lawless, decides that her best bet to have a son is with the fertile Gaul, Crixus, Manu Bennett, and asks him to drop trou. This is the beginning of their affair that is depicted in the first season. Below, she turns her back, as she cannot bear to watch the "dirty" deed. LOL!
Hmm. I guess you can see the glare from the windows in my bright sunny office and I need to dust my computer screen.
No full frontal in this one, but lots of gladiatoring that was tons of fun! Mmm, blood! Mmm, sex! Mmm, menz! I just love this series! Thank god for Netflix!

Interlachen Fla--Family Pet Alerts Occupants to Fire
Interlachen family alerted to house fire by barking dogs
by Andy Hall
The Palatka Daily News
Barking dogs took the place of smoke detectors in alerting an Interlachen woman and her daughter to a fire that started in the kitchen of their double-wide mobile home early Tuesday morning, the Putnam County fire marshal said.
The home had no smoke detectors, but the dogs awakened the occupants in time to call 911 -- and firefighters responded in time to limit damage to the kitchen area, according to Fire Marshal Joe Guidry.
"The fire was started by a pan of cooking oil left on the stove," he said Wednesday. "This was the fourth fire that started in a kitchen in six days.
"I think we've had seven (structure fires) so far this month - and this is just the 21st (of May) - and four of them were kitchen fires."
Dispatchers were notified at 5:34 a.m. of the blaze at 128 Caribbean St. The 10-year-old home had been purchased new by Joyce Ward, who had four payments remaining, Guidry said.
"Being that there was a mortgage, there was insurance on it," he noted.
Volunteers from the Interlachen, Interlachen Lakes Estates and West Putnam fire departments responded along with Putnam County Emergency Services Rescue 2, which treated Joyce Ward's daughter, Melissa, for a small burn on her right arm, Guidry said.
Melissa Ward, who is in her early 30s, was the one who called 911 after dogs smelled smoke and awakened her with their barking, Guidry said.
"She took another pan and put it upside-down over the one that was burning on the stove," he said. "The fire got into the hood, vented to the outside wall and got up between the ceiling and the roof."
Firefighters were able to restrict damage to the kitchen-living room area and portions of the roof, according to Guidry, who estimated the damage at $5,000 to the home and $500 to the contents.
"(The firefighters) did an interior attack and wet into the living room-kitchen area, pulled the ceiling tiles down and they were able to get in and stop it," he said. "They did an excellent stop on the fire.
"(The damage) is all repairable."
While grateful the barking dogs got the occupants' attention in time, Guidry didn't consider them an adequate replacement for smoke detectors.
"Smoke detectors save lives," he said.09-11 .. 343 "All Gave Some..Some Gave ALL" God Bless..R.I.P.

I have fallen in love with a duvet cover to inspire my mbr update. It is PB Celeste Gold.
Similar to the photo, I have an upholstered headboard in a neutral color. My floors are pumpkin pine so a strong reddish-orange. The room has two windows with painted trim, and structural beams because the house is a post and beam- the beams are also reddish-orangey. I am thinking of painting the walls SW Blonde, and getting a rug like the one I included in my moodboard. What do you think? Is the wall color good, is the rug too much? (BTW that is not my room in the background, just there for the beams. I can post a picture of the actual room if you think it is helpful)
Here is a simpler more geometric rug option, what style do you prefer?
Would a lighter wall color, like ivoire, work better? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would definitely NOT do the walls in that color, or the rug. It is a beautiful duvet, and you want it to pop, not blend in. For the walls and rug, I'd pull from the gray/blue that is in the duvet, not the gold/yellow. Don't worry about the wood color. Anything will work where the floor and beams are concerned. For instance, I have the orangey pine floors and beams all over my house, and I have cool colors on the walls. In particular, the Van Courtland Blue I have in one room that has pine floor, beams AND ceiling actually really made the wood GLOW gorgeously, much better than before, when the prior owner had BM Antique White on the walls. |

Interesting.... I am not sure I really want any pop. I am really going for a very soft, very calming environment. This is a MBR image I love. I was hoping my muted duvet could sub in for the muted bedskirt....which is why I thought the wall color of blonde might be too dark... I also dont like blue very much so i do not want too much blue in the room. |
I love the combination. And I prefer the first rug. |
I like the first rug also and the bedding is beautiful! |

I like everything...the duvet, both rugs...but I would go with a much lighter version of that gold/tan for the walls...I think that much saturated color will be overpowering with your other elements. |

I looked on google images for SW gold to see lots of sample pictures. I think that color might be too goldy-yellow. I much prefer the cream walls in the PB picture. As for the rug, if I were you, I would need to see the duvet in place first before I could commit to a rug. Pretty duvet! |
- Posted by localeater (My Page) on Wed, Apr 2, 14 at 5:43
Thanks all for the feedback. I have been playing around with the wall color and will definitely go much lighter for an airier look. The rug will most likely not be chosen until the room is painted. I just wanted to start thinking. I am a very slow decorator. |

I like the first moodboard. Don't forget, you won't see the rug that way unless you levitate. You will register far less of the pattern when it is on the floor. Very pretty. |
joaniepoanie said what I was trying to say…only in a much more diplomatic and accurate way! I apologize if I came off as harsh! Yes, lighter on the wall color so the duvet doesn't get swallowed up, is all I meant. |

SYNOPSIS: Three naughty girls — leggy stripper Trixie (Julia Voth), homicidal drug runner Camero (America Olivo) and high-powered businesswoman Hel (Erin Cummings) — team up to rip off a crime kingpin, but surprise betrayals quickly spin events out of control. Guns, hand-to-hand combat, scantily clad women and plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor populate this guilty-pleasure throwback to 1960s and '70s exploitation films.

This Guidebook will aid states in developing public�private partnerships with private
freight railroads to permit operation of passenger services over shared-use rail corridors.
The Guidebook should encourage the broad acceptance of improved principles, processes,
and methods to support agreements on access, allocation of operation and maintenance
costs, capacity allocation, operational issues, future responsibilities for infrastructure
improvements, and other fundamental issues that will affect the ultimate success of shared-
use passenger and freight agreements between public and private railroad stakeholders.
The United States is experiencing increasing congestion on the nation's highways, as well
as capacity constraints on the national rail system. Higher gasoline prices and concerns
about greenhouse gas emissions are increasing public demand for energy-efficient trans-
portation alternatives. Faced with these challenges and increased emphasis on multi-modal
planning under federal transportation statutes (i.e., ISTEA, TEA-21, and SAFETEA-LU),
state interest in intercity passenger and commuter rail development has grown significantly
in recent years.
Thirteen states support Amtrak service and thirty-eight states have developed or partici-
pated in developing plans for enhanced intercity passenger rail service. A growing number
of commuter rail systems operate on lines of various ownership configurations (e.g., freight
railroad, county, city, state, and transit authorities). AASHTO's report Intercity Passenger
Rail Transportation (January 2003) documents $17 billion in state-defined infrastructure
and equipment needs over 6 years and another $43 billion in needs over the next 2 decades.
Eighty percent of these needs involve investments in privately owned freight corridors. Sev-
eral states have well-established rail passenger programs through which capital and operat-
ing funds are provided to ensure intercity, commuter, and transit services. Other states are
beginning to implement rail passenger service plans and projects. Most of these rail services
will operate on freight corridors. The concept of passenger and freight operations co-existing
in shared-use corridors is central to further development of state-supported passenger rail
service in the United States. All current Amtrak service is on shared-use corridors. Virtually
all plans for enhanced passenger rail service, both intercity and commuter rail, developed
by states are based on the shared-use corridor concept.
Recent federal legislation--including the American Recovery and Investment Act of
2009, the Capital Assistance to States�Intercity Passenger Rail Service provided for in the
2008 Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, and the Passenger Rail Investment
and Improvement Act of 2008--is providing significant new federal funding for passenger
rail service, prompting a number of states to expand or initiate service. This new funding is
coming at a time when there is no broadly accepted methodology for conducting the long,

costly, and often mutually frustrating negotiating process with freight railroads in an equi-
table manner that ensures (1) that the public interest is served and (2) that private freight
railroads have a reasonable incentive for entering into such agreements. The lack of such a
methodology can increase the likelihood of significant delay or can even jeopardize project
Under NCHRP Project 08-64, "A Guidebook on Improved Principles, Processes, and
Methods for Shared-Use Passenger and Freight Rail Corridors," ICF International was
asked to develop a guidebook that would assist states in understanding the variables, chal-
lenges, and opportunities associated with starting or expanding passenger rail service on
track owned by a freight railroad in a shared-use corridor. To meet the project objectives,
the research team examined extant literature; reviewed current negotiation practices used
by public and private rail entities; described factors that contribute to successful agreements;
and prepared case studies that demonstrate the application of effective principles, processes,
and methods. This Guidebook should be of immediate use to state rail programs as they
determine how best to approach this highly complex situation.

LAKEPORT -- Lack of pace in the court schedule Wednesday morning forced a judge to continue the preliminary hearing of two people suspected to be responsible for a string of burglaries in Lakeport last month.
The hearing for Jeffrey William Stokes, 25, and Kimberly Jo Harvey, 46, was scheduled for 8:15 a.m., but the lack of enough unscheduled time in any of the courtrooms for the hearing to be completed forced the court to continue the matter to Tuesday.
Scheduling a preliminary hearing for one or both of the defendants has seen its obstacles before. Stokes initially had his hearing scheduled for Feb. 5, after he opted not waive his right to have his preliminary hearing done within 10 days of his arraignment. Stokes' move forced the court to separate his and Harvey's cases, after Harvey waived her time-restriction right.
After discussions between both sides and an eventual agreement by Stokes to waive time, the cases were once again placed on the same schedule in order to be seen together. The preliminary hearing was re-scheduled for Feb. 7 and later again for Wednesday.
Stokes and Harvey are suspected of being responsible for a string of burglaries that occur in early January.
Among the places allegedly burglarized by the pair were Angie's Lake County Cleaners, Veronica's Jewelry, Strings and Things, Round Table Pizza and a residence on 11th Street, according to the Lakeport Police Department (LPD).
Harvey was arrested on Jan.

The LEGO Scottie dog earrings are a childlike representation of the Scottish Terrier that is playfully tethered to your earlobes.
Black building blocks are stacked one on top of the other to form the outline of a cuddly high bred Terrier. A red circular block represents a dog collar. Stationed between the ears of the toy canine is a silver fish hook that attaches to your ears.
The advantage of the LEGO Scottie dog earrings by Mariann Asanuma is that they are more playful than tacky. Rather than having an exact likeness of the dogs hang from your ears, the LEGO pups are a lot more becoming. You don't want to come off as a crazily obsessed dog lover, after all.

We recently bought a new house but unfortunately the kitchen cabinets are that pickled oak - they look like peach wood to me. And on top of that the walls are green. The pic below is what I took during the walk through. We move in soon. I have been told that the green brings out the peach. So we are definitely going to repaint the walls rather than put in new cabinets. I was thinking about a terracotta color. Anyone have any ideas, suggestions or pics to help me? Trying to get all of this done before baby #2 comes along in Dec. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi lisamarie, I looked back at your previous post on this from a couple of weeks ago and you got lots of good suggestions there for wall color. One person suggested a soft gray and I think that would be lovely. The green certainly makes the pink tones pop out. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Thu, Sep 9, 10 at 18:00
You will definitely get them to look less pink if you go with a neutral that has a pink or red undertone rather then a green undertone. My dad said they called their khaki dress uniforms in the army "pinks" because the khaki had more of that than a green/yellow undertone. So beiges or greys with this undertone could work well. Some reds may work, some may be too warm (orangey) and bring out the pink by contrast. I agree that they look too pink with the green paint but I am not sure why people are so anti-pickled finishes, I don't think they are particularly unpleasant. --Actually pickled and cerused finishes are due for a comeback and Restoration Hardware is actually doing this with greys. |
I would post this picture and question in the Decorating forum. Lots of good advise there and maybe someone could photoshop a couple of colors for you. Have you thought about painting the cabs? |
I'd suggest a dark taupe color. I have whitewashed cabs right now and was amazed at how good Benjamin Moore AC-36, Shenandoah Taupe, looked when I repainted a few years ago.The color is neutral and you can accent it easily. A friend liked it so much he had his whole house recently painted in AC-32 Pismo Dunes, which is a few shades lighter. He is getting ready to sell that house and there is not only pickled oak cabs but ton's of woodwork and beams all in that same pickled finish. The color really transformed the look of the whole house and gave it an updated look. His house is going on the market for 1.5M and he'll get it. I'd pull a few color chips and hold them next to the cabinets or buy one of those little sample pots of paint. |
I'm just seeing this..hope I'm not too late. I too have the same type of oak cabinets in my kitchen (house was built in the early 90's). In order to get rid of the pink/mauve undertone, I painted the kitchen Northampton Beige. I also changed the countertop to a dark granite(black with tan and a little red). Changed the appliances to stainless. |

Re: DETAILS FOR JEFF HANNEMAN MEMORIAL CELEBRATION ANNOUNCED
I would have given almost anything to be there. It is a long way from Fl. when you are a starving musician. Jeff and the entire band are the most important musicians in my life, and although I bow to no man, I would be lying if I said that a chance to meet them would definitely have me just a little shaky.
I have been fucked out of seeing SLAYER live four, count 'em, four times. Each time I had at least one ticket, starting from the Clash tour. Every single time I either ended up locked up, or some other crazy thing would happen, preventing me from seeing my favorite band! Now I will never have that chance in full. Jeff is gone. Regret is a motherfucker.

Not a clue. Do they mention this in the movie?

I wanted to get a knife for my wife and after doing some searching, I found the Rainbow Leek.
My question though is what's the blade material?
Kershaw's website says it's - Blade Material: Sandvik 13C26 stainless-steel.
Kershaw Rainbow Centofante 1615VIB
But, on Amazon, it says the blade is 440A. So which is it?

The Vulnerability of Minority Homeowners in the Housing Boom and BustPatrick J. BayerDuke University - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Fernando V. FerreiraUniversity of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School Stephen L. RossUniversity of Connecticut - Department of Economics April 29, 2013 Economic Research Initiatives at Duke (ERID) Working Paper No. 145 Abstract: This paper examines mortgage outcomes for a large, representative sample of individual home purchases and refinances linked to credit scores in seven major US markets in the recent housing boom and bust. Among those with similar credit scores, black and Hispanic homeowners had much higher rates of delinquency and default in the downturn. These differences are not readily explained by the likelihood of receiving a subprime loan or by differential exposure to local shocks in the housing and labor market and are especially pronounced for loans originated near the peak of the boom. Our findings suggest that those black and Hispanic homeowners drawn into the market near the peak were especially vulnerable to adverse economic shocks and raise serious concerns about homeownership as a mechanism for reducing racial disparities in wealth.

Is there a way to make it so it's not so dry? back sweeten... if thats the term I should be using. any recommendations? secondly, the next thing I want to do is a braggot is there a good one stop thread I should visit regarding braggots? I also want to use maple syrup and not use hops. thoughts? opinions? thanks for any help you guys can give.

KJac is being scape goated here.... He was bad.... but no worse than you should expect from a rookie corner. He was not the worse corner we had last year..... one of the two best.. I think so.
He most definitely wasn't the biggest problem in our secondary. & he isn't our biggest liability in pass defense.
Dunta did play better k jax was not one of the better DBS last year and he is not being scapegoated because he still has a job.
Pollard was scapegoated. Not kj.
I don't ever recall a corner getting all twisted up at the Los and roasted for a long td the way Roy williams did him.
He actually had me missing reeves. Atleast he uses to be in playmaking distance. Dunta was not good, but dammit I missed him too.
Kj had me missing almost every scrub corner we've ever trotted out there.
He was not good and I'm not sure how you guys can't see that. Pulling up a few plays out of the hundreds he played is not evidence. Pulling up a couple of plays from aso is not evidence. It's a mere sample. I looked at them and you can't really tell much from still shots.
You can't really see what the technique looks like which is most of the battle. You can't see quickness in and out of cuts. You can't see how fluid the backpedal is or what they look like when they turn their hips.
I think you guys are the ones over simplifying things.
Using a small sample size and then declaring that because the safety wasn't where he needed to be kj looked bad.
We don't Where the safety needed to be. And we don't know how the coaches had the secondary playing.
There is a such thing as a corner being in one on one coverage with one or both of the safeties being in a middle zone. Just because you think it should be cover two doesn't mean it is.
I saw enough last year to come to two conclusions. He has talent, he had an awful first year. That's it. Breaking down particular plays is not something I'm going to do. I saw enough bad things all on my own watching the games last year, and none of the bad things were due to him not having help.
At times he was put in a bad position, but the coaches thought they had a number one corner which is all their fault.

I have a rheem RHPLHM3621JC air handler(16 seer variable speed fan), a rheem RPRL036JEC Heat pump( 3 ton also variable speed fan) and a white rogers 1F99-1292 thermostat. The thermostat is saying check heat pump. If i remove thermostat and plug it back on to the base it will work again for a while. Then it will come back on and say check heat pump. Any ideas, thanks. |

Not enough info provided here. Either a faulty thermostat that is providing a false positive error message or a problem with HP. I would shut system off and call your Installing dealer for a service call. IMO |

Hello again! Does anyone have any good recipes for desserts that are friendly to those suffering from heartburn and acid reflex/GERD? I was hoping to make something rich and decadent (possibly sinful), without leaving my inflicted guests suffering on the way home.
Thanks, Peter |
Follow-Up Postings:
My all time favourite dessert. Rich, yet light, great mouth feel and it doesn't compete with the main meal. Bonus you can make early the same day or even the day before. Crčme Carmel 1 Qt milk In large saucepan , over low heat, scald the milk with the vanilla. Remove from the heat and let steep 30 minutes. Then remove beans and discard. Caramelize an 8 cup round baking dish. Place ˝ cup of sugar, water and vinegar or lemon juice in a small sauce pan and cook over high heat until golden. Carefully pour the caramel into the baking dish, tipping the dish to ensure the bottom is all covered. Let the caramel harden. Preheat your oven to 300. Let cool and then refrigerate until ready to serve. T serve run a knife around the edge and invert onto a deep plate. The carmel will run out an fill the dish. |

I'm assuming nobody's lactose intolerant? Now's the time for berries & if they can't take dairy, they'd probably like the berries without the cream & this one has the WOW factor plus it's easy & fresh: PAVLOVA (serves 10) 4 egg whites, room temperature 1 cup sugar 1 tsp white wine vinegar 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 TBL cornstarch Topping: Preheat oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet w/aluminum foil. Lightly butter the foil. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Add the sugar gradually, beating constantly. Add the vinegar & vanilla; beat for 5 minutes. Add the cornstarch; beat 1 minute. Mound the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet into a disk about 2" high. Imprint the edge of the disk with the back of a spoon with an upward motion. (This will make a slight rim) |
As someone who sometimes suffers from heart burn from a too rich dessert after a rich meal...I suggest fruit in a merangue shell with passed whipped cream...don'tput the whipped cream on before serving. Another that sits well is biscotti with a bowl of berries. Chocolate at night is not good for me...unless, of course, the main dish was chocolate!! Linda C |
what about a granita? something frozen and icy. i take prevacid for my reflux but before anything milky would hurt me.. really anything hurt me so im not that great of a judge but i would think a lemon granita with berries would sit well. i found this recipe and then you could top with some mint and berries of your choice. Italian Lemon Ice (Granita) SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units) Directions |

How about some really good berries, simply cooked in puff pastry with a bit of sugar or liqueur like Grand Marnier? Dusted with a bit of powdered sugar and served with a nice mint and chamomile tea to aid digestion? |
I'd go with Ginger's Pavlova. When we were in New Zealand this past spring, I had it for dessert every night and it was wonderful. RL` |

I went through severe heartburn several years ago...did the 'scope thing to check it all out and was recommended for surgery which I decided against. All is much better now but it was horrible for awhile. A dessert that I might have chosen during that period would have been low in fat with no dairy or chocolate or any spices. How yucky! |

Connecting to External Database using Apache2
Greetings All,
I have been for the longest while testing my .php website files by uploading them to my server first and going to the URL. However, this is the biggest waste of time ever.
I finally decided to setup Apache2 Server and php 5 on my system. I also setup a mysql database. However, when i try to connect to an external database located on my server to test my application, I get no connection. I tested my connection with a script like this:
PHP Code:<?php
$username = "pee_wee";
$password = "let_me_in";
$hostname = "mysql.mywebsite.com";
$dbh = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
print "Connected to MySQL<br>";
// you're going to do lots more here soon

Have you checked the mysql server settings to see if it accepts remote connections? you can edit the mysql config file and set the bind address to your homes computer or update the database and set a specific ip address to be allowed access 2 it
also check to make sure you have got the mysql extension for php enabled in the php config fileCode:mysql> update db set Host='188.8.131.52' where Db='webdb';

If you are not getting any output, not even the output contained in youror die(...)
statement, that would indicate that php is probably not working or the mysql extension is not enabled. Have you tried a simple script that just echo's something?
If php is working, then the mysql extension is probably not enabled. Either check your web server log for errors and/or turn on full php error reporting (both display_errors to on and error_reporting to E_ALL) in php.ini or a .htaccess file. Turning on full php error reporting will save you a tremendous amount of time when developing code.
If php is working and the mysql extension is enabled, addingmysql_error()
in youror die(...)
statement, will give you more information as to why the connection is not working.
If everything on your local computer is setup and working, then either the remote mysql server is not setup to accept any remote connections, or it needs to be setup to allow a specific remote connection from your computer (per usik's post above.)
If you are learning PHP, developing PHP code, or debugging PHP code, do yourself a favor and check your web server log for errors and/or turn on full PHP error reporting in php.ini or in a .htaccess file to get PHP to help you.

Just wondering if anyone has any good recommendations? Where do you shop, what kind of dahlias do you like? Ebay anyone? |

I've only bought from Swan Island Dahlias. Everything I've bought has been top notch, and when I had one tuber that didn't sprout they were quick to offer me compensation. No complaints. Cheers, |

Wynne's Dahlias-- they're wonderful! They replace or refund without any hassle if something doesn't eye up & are full of wonderful info - they always answer email questions & give great advice-- they grow somewhere around 6,500-7,000 dahlias & their gardens are astonishing! Ever seen over 5,000 AA & A sized dahlias all in one place?? WOW!! Oh, yeah - & they do it all themselves-- just the 2 of them! Ellie |
because it is next to impossible to get any plant matter other than seeds up in Canada, we have different suppliers. Ferncliff is the best. Art's nursery has pictures to make you drool and a huge selection but otherwise less than spectacular. |
Triple b, I am waiting for Abloom Gardens who have a very large variety and wonderful website to be able to ship internationally. You should be able to access them up there. Great friendly communications from them too. |

And Swan Island ships to Canada no problems too, and they're in Oregon somewhere just south of you. Cheers, |
wow I wish it were the same for roses! |
I've ordered from Swan Island, Connells, Arrowhead and Cowlitz River. They all had excellent service and tubers were in great condition when they arrived. The cuttings from Corralito's are also very good. Teresa from Cowlitz replaced a tuber for me that I turned to mush out of my own stupidity. On top of that, got another free one with that replacement. Can't get any better than that. |
I use Swan, Connells, Ferncliff, and Container gardens. Had 5 mushy ones from Swann this year. I think it is because they all ship so early. They usally replace if they have the tuber. |

This is one post. Read the entire DVC Resale- Buyer's report here.
Speed counts!
Just a sidebar to say to any business professionals reading this -- speed counts. It especially counts when you are contacted by a potential customer online, because that probably means they are in a hurry to get something done.
Take our case. I initially inquired about DVC resales online. I inquired on at Friday at four different resellers' websites. One reseller (Jaki) contacted me the next day via telephone, had listings for us by Monday, we made an offer Monday night and had a contract in our hands by Wednesday.
A second reseller sent an auto-reply email, but never followed up. The third reseller replied with an automated email confirmation, then snail-mailed an information packet, which I received on Wednesday (no phone call). The fourth reseller has failed to acknowledge our inquiry.
So, Jaki, the winning reseller not only contacted us personally, but called us back with suitable listings and made an offer on our behalf -- all before any of her competitors had even bothered to contact us personally.
Next, take our loan process. I went to Lendingtree.com on Tuesday morning and applied for an Equity Line of Credit. We had three email offers within the hour. So far, so good.
Two hours later, I'd been contacted personally by a Chase representative who went over the terms of the offer with me. The second lender (PCB) sent us an email later on Tuesday, then followed up with a phone call Wednesday night. The third lender (Charter One) contacted us for the first time via e-mail this morning, and was the worst of the bunch.
Here is a quote from their loan representative's email:
"I have been trying to contact you about our recent Home Equity offer to be sure our offer is appropriate based on your request."
Unfortunately for this gentleman, we have already accepted an offer from a competitor who was quicker to respond (and had a better rate). Even if we had been considering Charter One's offer, this email is a deal breaker because the above quote from his email is a complete falsehood.
This gentleman has not attempted to contact us about this offer. There have been no previous emails, nor has he tried to contact us via telephone.
Business people: If you are going to fabricate a story about "trying to contact" a potential customer, you need to be aware that person might have the technology to verify it.
At home, I have Vonage, which logs all incoming calls. There is no record that this gentleman, or anyone at his bank has tried to contact us at home. I also have call logs at work, and again, no record of an attempted call from him. Not only is this lender slow on the draw, he's dishonest from the start. Not a good way to start off a business relationship!
So, today's lesson again is this: speed and honesty are key in today's business world.
